We had a lovely week at Riber View Cottage. The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated and the bedrooms, especially, were lovely and spacious. The location is good but the parking was too tricky for our BMW X5, however it wasn’t a problem parking on the side of the road. We ate at the local pub and also walked to get fish and chips. Great dog walking from the house - don’t miss the Lumsdale waterfall walk. We spent a couple of days visiting Sherwood Forest and also went swimming at the ...

We had a lovely week at Riber View Cottage. The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated and the bedrooms, especially, were lovely and spacious. The location is good but the parking was too tricky for our BMW X5, however it wasn’t a problem parking on the side of the road. We ate at the local pub and also walked to get fish and chips. Great dog walking from the house - don’t miss the Lumsdale waterfall walk. We spent a couple of days visiting Sherwood Forest and also went swimming at the excellent new leisure centre. We definitely want to return, just trying to sort out some dates!

We had a lovely time in this lovely cosy cottage, everything you could wish for in a relaxing break. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed extremely comfy and the fire just topped it all off. We would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

“The cottage is lovely in every way.”

The cottage is lovely in every way. The kitchen is well laid out with good appliances though I think some pyrex dishes with lids for using in the microwave would be beneficial. They say the driveway is a bit 'tight' but we have a 4x4 which after one shunt either in or out wasn't a problem. The lounge is perfect if you have pets as the furniture is leather so easy to wipe down if necessary though we had blankets to lay over them. The cottage itself is situated off a fairly main road but as its right at the end of the lane you can't hear much if any road noise. Overall we had a really nice time and will be looking at coming back again later in the year.

“This was a great holiday. The ...”

This was a great holiday. The cottage is beautifully decorated and comfortable with pretty much everything one needs.
The downside for us was the location, we took our dogs with us and there wasnt any obvious dog walks near the property.
One of the neighbours is extremely unfriendly probably due to problems with parking and the lack of space.
Rubbish hadnt been collected for quite some rime and we had to take ours home at the end of the holiday as all the bins were full and overflowing.
However as stated earlier the cottage is lovely and we enjoyed our visit.

“When we arrived the cleaners were ...”

When we arrived the cleaners were still there! As per instructions we arrived just after 3 pm. The cleaner informed us that it was 4! Checked my details and it was definitely 3 in our information. We felt uncomfortable as he was still cleaning out kitchen cupboards etc. No vacuum in property so he then had to bring one in and didn’t leave until 4.15 . The property could go with its own vacuum as well .

“Fantastic cottage, the photos ...”

Fantastic cottage, the photos don’t show how big it is, the quality of the place is incredible, even down to the solar powered lights in the garden!! Parking a bit tricky but got our large-ish car (VW Tiguan) on with a bit manoeuvring.
Really good local pub and easy walk into town, tough walk up the hill though!!
Highly recommend and will definitely return soon

Winter breaks always difficult in England but Riber View ticked all the boxes. Well located to explore this wonderful area and nice and cosy and comfortable when you return. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely cottage, warm, well equipped. Parking space a little tricky to access. Location at top of steep hill could be a problem for some. Great local pub.

About the location

MATLOCK

Matlock Bath 1 mile; Bakewell 8 miles.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
